too_o much_o let_v no_o man_n say_v most_o dear_a brethren_n that_o in_o these_o time_n there_o be_v no_o martyr_n there_o be_v martyr_n make_v every_o day_n for_o martyr_n be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v

will_v fain_o know_v most_o dear_a brethren_n when_o a_o master_n have_v divers_a servant_n if_o he_o can_v be_v content_a that_o but_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v drink_v surely_n none_o be_v so_o wicked_a that_o he_o shall_v at_o any_o time_n have_v desire_v this_o or_o will_v have_v it_o so_o with_o what_o face_n with_o what_o conscience_n shall_v he_o be_v drink_v himself_o who_o will_v not_o endure_v one_o of_o his_o servant_n to_o be_v drink_v see_v through_o god_n blessing_n thou_o have_v a_o servant_n and_o god_n have_v thou_o for_o his_o servant_n in_o such_o manner_n as_o thou_o desire_v that_o thy_o servant_n shall_v serve_v thou_o ought_v thou_o to_o serve_v god_n tell_v i_o in_o good_a earnest_n what_o equity_n there_o be_v in_o this_o that_o thou_o shall_v have_v a_o sober_a servant_n and_o god_n shall_v have_v a_o drunken_a servant_n as_o if_o thou_o be_v so_o deserve_n that_o a_o sober_a servant_n shall_v serve_v thou_o consider_v therefore_o these_o thing_n diligent_o my_o dear_a brethren_n and_o mark_v that_o there_o be_v no_o justice_n in_o this_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v to_o god_n what_o we_o will_v not_o have_v do_v to_o ourselves_o peradventure_o thou_o will_v say_v how_o do_v i_o that_o to_o god_n that_o i_o will_v not_o have_v do_v to_o myself_o or_o how_o do_v it_o not_o please_v thou_o to_o have_v a_o drunkard_n to_o thy_o servant_n and_o thou_o will_v not_o serve_v god_n in_o sobriety_n for_o therefore_o belove_a brethren_n so_o wretched_o do_v man_n make_v themselves_o drink_v because_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o drunkenness_n be_v a_o very_a small_a or_o no_o sin_n but_o for_o such_o their_o ignorance_n be_v priest_n more_o especial_o to_o give_v a_o account_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n if_o they_o neglect_v to_o declare_v daily_o to_o the_o people_n commit_v to_o they_o what_o and_o how_o great_a mischief_n arise_v from_o drunkenness_n so_o that_o he_o who_o believe_v drunkenness_n to_o be_v a_o small_a sin_n if_o he_o do_v not_o mend_v his_o life_n and_o become_v penitent_a for_o this_o drunkenness_n eternal_a punishment_n shall_v unavoidable_o torment_v he_o together_z with_o murderers_z and_o

covetous_a nor_o adulterer_n nor_o drunkard_n shall_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n see_v he_o join_v here_o drunkard_n with_o fornicator_n and_o idolater_n and_o sodomist_n and_o adulterer_n and_o that_o also_o be_v not_o drink_v with_o wine_n in_o which_o be_v excess_n and_o therefore_o let_v every_o man_n conclude_v and_o consider_v with_o himself_o that_o drunkenness_n be_v a_o grievous_a sin_n and_o so_o do_v drunkenness_n shall_v not_o master_v he_o for_o see_v drunkenness_n shall_v not_o only_o torment_v a_o man_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v but_o also_o man_n in_o this_o life_n be_v worsted_n with_o many_o disease_n in_o this_o present_a life_n by_o drunkenness_n let_v they_o at_o least_o be_v afraid_a of_o bodily_a distemper_n who_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n let_v they_o be_v afraid_a of_o dimness_n of_o sight_n and_o darkness_n the_o swim_n of_o the_o head_n and_o tremble_v of_o the_o member_n who_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n and_o this_o we_o speak_v not_o only_o to_o the_o laity_n but_o clergy_n also_o for_o what_o be_v yet_o worse_o many_o of_o the_o high_a rank_n of_o clergyman_n who_o ought_v with_o other_o to_o preach_v the_o excellency_n of_o sobriety_n not_o only_o forbear_v this_o but_o also_o tipple_v themselves_o and_o other_o without_o shame_n or_o fear_n but_o whoever_o be_v such_o let_v they_o mourn_v and_o confess_v their_o fault_n for_o if_o they_o will_v not_o amend_v their_o life_n they_o shall_v be_v torment_v for_o themselves_o and_o other_o also_o but_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o when_o the_o meal_n be_v over_o and_o thirst_v satisfy_v when_o they_o neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o to_o drink_v any_o more_o then_o as_o if_o they_o be_v fresh_a as_o if_o they_o come_v in_o at_o that_o instant_n they_o begin_v to_o drink_v under_o sundry_a name_n not_o only_o of_o man_n live_v but_o angel_n and_o certain_a other_o ancient_a saint_n imagine_v that_o they_o do_v they_o great_a honour_n when_o they_o bury_v themselves_o in_o too_o great_a drink_v not_o understand_v this_o that_o none_o do_v offer_v so_o great_a injury_n to_o the_o holy_a angel_n and_o holy_a man_n as_o they_o who_o make_v use_v of_o their_o name_n to_o slay_v their_o soul_n with_o drunkenness_n for_o there_o be_v some_o who_o for_o this_o reason_n only_o give_v order_n to_o have_v salt_n meat_n provide_v they_o that_o by_o that_o saltness_n they_o may_v overthrow_v themselves_o with_o too_o much_o drink_v if_o heathen_n who_o know_v not_o god_n shall_v do_v this_o we_o be_v not_o to_o wonder_v at_o it_o and_o less_o may_v we_o grieve_v because_o they_o have_v no_o hope_n in_o god_n they_o keep_v to_o the_o old_a custom_n of_o their_o forefather_n but_o wherefore_o shall_v christian_n follow_v their_o intemperances_n most_o filthy_a from_o who_o infidelity_n god_n mercy_n have_v deliver_v they_o who_o god_n have_v bring_v out_o of_o darkness_n into_o

the_o dreadful_a day_n of_o judgement_n and_o adjure_v you_o that_o you_o avoid_v drunkenness_n as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v possible_o by_o god_n help_n and_o now_o begin_v to_o blush_v that_o hitherto_o you_o have_v comply_v with_o pagan_n and_o gentile_n in_o the_o foul_a sin_n of_o drunkenness_n for_o because_o you_o be_v unlike_o they_o in_o faith_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v like_o they_o at_o all_o in_o drunkenness_n for_o suppose_v christian_n shall_v not_o commit_v the_o like_a sin_n with_o they_o drunkenness_n alone_o frequent_v where_o amendment_n and_o repentance_n do_v not_o follow_v tumble_v they_o into_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n as_o before_o we_o have_v say_v nor_o drunkard_n shall_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o some_o man_n may_v say_v i_o be_o not_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n i_o only_o desire_v everlasting_a rest_n brethren_n let_v no_o man_n deceive_v himself_o there_o be_v two_o place_n and_o there_o be_v no_o three_o for_o any_o

in_o too_o great_a quantity_n in_o one_o day_n and_o compel_v he_o to_o drink_v he_o shall_v two_o or_o three_o day_n invite_v he_o to_o a_o entertainment_n and_o wherein_o he_o worsted_n he_o with_o

to_o drink_v more_o than_o become_v they_o so_o that_o while_o you_o yourselves_o love_v sobriety_n and_o reclaim_v other_o from_o the_o destruction_n of_o drunkenness_n by_o your_o counsel_n you_o may_v prepare_v a_o double_a reward_n in_o eternal_a bliss_n not_o only_o for_o your_o own_o salvation_n but_o the_o salvation_n of_o other_o also_o and_o my_o dear_a brethren_n how_o much_o be_v
